As mentioned in section 5.8, conducting
polymers exhibit not only electroconductivity
but also unique optical and chemical properties
[85]. The diversity of properties exhibited by
conducting polymers offers these materials to
be used in numerous technological applications.
Generally, the properties of polymers originate
from their chemical (molecular) and physical
(morphological) structures. It therefore follows
that the structures of conducting polymers
should be able to be controlled in order to tailor
them to the purposes of their utilization. Their
chemical structures can be controlled by
changing the molecular structures of the
corresponding monomers and by selecting
conditions and procedures for polymerization
